The Bishop's Office

Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles


January 8, 2024

If your church can accommodate evacuees from the fire zones, please email availability and capacity to bishopsoffice@ladiocese.org.


Statement from Bishop John Harvey Taylor


“The word for today, with the fires and devastation at their worst, is staying safe, staying indoors if we can, and following the guidance and orders of officials. We also do our gospel work of banding together in faith, assisting our neighbor when they need it, and accepting their help when we need it. God bless all who’ve reached out to offer shelter and other resources for evacuees. You are each in my prayers each moment today and in the days ahead, and I know you join me in prayer for those battling the fires in the worst possible conditions." -- The Rt. Rev. John Harvey Taylor, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles



A bulletin from The Episcopal News will follow when more information from the several fire zones is confirmed. Please direct media inquiries and updates to Bob Williams, diocesan canon for common life, media@ladiocese.org. Emergency shelter is currently available at All Saints Episcopal Church, 132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena.
